Recently I have acquired an office job.

All my life, it is something I never thought I would really be happy doing. The media makes it seem truly robotic and boring.

What I offer you, is some hope to fill in any grays of the day.

An office job, can be less social than most (in person). It offers you more time in your mind, because you are juggling so many tasks. So what I'm getting at, is that you might have some quiet time to yourself while at your desk.

For me, it was a change. I am a very social person, but you find ways to be social. It's kinda nice having some alone time during a break.

Now getting to the better part. Your desk!

At first I thought: what's the point of decorating a desk that you just do work at?

DUH: It makes it YOUR desk. You suddenly want everything with your name on it and you want it to be a personalized fun-filled space! Just having a little plant to look at while you're busy at work, makes a world of difference.

I want to put up paintings, hang pictures, buy my own mouse pad, buy tealights (I'll stop now). But yeah, that's fun!

You also learn way more than you'd think. In just a few days, I came home talking about all sorts of things that if I had heard it prior to that day, my eyes would cross over and back.

Another plus is that often being anyone in the office, makes you important in the process. Growing up, I was always so concerned that I would end up with a job that doesn't make a difference. The reality is, that every job is considered important because there will always be people that depend on you. The more involved you get and the more you immerse yourself in your job, the better you will feel and the more you can help others!

So don't knock that office job!
